Before I get into the poem, I just wanted to say something. All my work is a reflection of my own mind and inner world. If you don’t like it or it’s not what you expect, you respectfully don’t have to be here. I will express myself however I feel. I’m done trying to appease others. It’s wearing on me and I am tired.
With that, onto the poem…
I feel lost,
So I write
Scattered and adrift,
So I write
I don’t know what I’m doing,
So I write
Suffocated by society,
Unable to release the pressure
So I write
Alone and stumbling,
So I write
Through this reality I call Life
Unable to proudly share my Truth,
So I write
Confined within my own mind,
So I write
Day by day, month by month
One step at a time - I keep going
Determined to create a Life I love,
And so I write
To make it -
MINE
So I write
To feel alive and free,
So I write
Because writing, at this moment
Is one of few things
That spark any kind of fire
Any kind of aliveness
Any kind of h o p e
And so
I write
- J A X
let me know what you think!
See you next time! 👋🏼
